The obstruction of justice trial for Sidney Moorer, the man accused of kidnapping missing woman Heather Elvis and obstructing the investigation into her disappearance, is scheduled to begin on Monday.

Moorer is charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly lying to investigators about making a call to Elvis from a pay phone on the night of her disappearance in December 2013. This was revealed during his first trial last year, which was for a kidnapping charge.

The defendant previously appeared in court at the end of July for a hearing to discuss issues ahead of the start of the Aug. 28 trial, including a motion by the defense to suppress evidence.

His initial 2016 kidnapping trial ended in a mistrial. A new trial date has not yet been set on that charge.

Tammy Moorer is also charged with kidnapping in the case, but she has yet to go to trial on her charge. A date has not been scheduled.

Anyone know what time this starts today, and if there are any tweeters for this?

TIA!!

Always My Own Opinion

From the FindHeatherElvis FB page:

The obstruction of justice trial for Sidney Moorer will begin on Monday, Aug 28th. They will begin jury selection at 10:00 and the trial will begin after the jury has been chosen. We will update in the comments once this is done for anyone who is wanting to attend. We will try to answer some of the questions received here, and the rest in the comments as we get answers. The courtroom will be open to the public. No cellphones (can be checked at the door), no shorts, no pictures of Heather (i.e. shirts, buttons). We're not sure how long this trial will be, but probably through Thursday or Friday. The local media will be in the courtroom.

I'm looking around to find a live stream or twitter feed. My guess is that WMBF will stream it.

Ohh, a real trial! With jurors! Hopefully no friends of the plaintiff's counsel this time!

I would be surprised if the trial was postponed. This thing isn't even a tropical storm yet. It's expected to become one, but only minimally, and we won't take a direct hit. It's going to skirt the coast. It will be a rainy, breezy couple days, but there won't be any damage. If anything causes a delay, it will more likely be the flash flood watch associated with it.

Marking my spot - back in about 1/2 hour.... I think I have that right?
